I am having problems with my gaming rig, screen randomly freezes while in game, sometimes just browsing the internet. Also, my boot time is ridiculously slow, even with the SSD. Im talking about a minute and a half to two minutes. My shitty Toshiba Satellite would boot in about 20 seconds.

Here are my specs
AMD A8 6600k
Asus F2A55-M motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM(Storage)
Sandisk 128GB SSD(Boot)
Team Vulcan 2x4GB 1866 RAM
Cooler Master 212 Hyper EVO CPU Cooler
MSI Radeon 7770 2GB DDR3(Hybrid Xfire with APU)
Thermaltake Toughpower XT 775W PSU
Windows 7 Home Premium

Be gentle, this was my first build. Works pretty well with games when it doesnt freeze.
I originally thought it was the CPU overheating so I bought the 212 EVO. Did a mem test on my RAM and no errors found, I've used both HDD's to boot and it still does this. Maybe my PSU is shit? Maybe it's grounding somewhere?

This may sound weird, try pulling out one of your GPUs. As for the locking up, I had the same issue when I was running crossfire without atleast an 850 Watt power supply. I don't think both problems are related, so attempt to isolate one by running with 1 GPU at this time.
